[Lukester]

To this day I still can't copy images, videos, or ip links. But I can drag, copy and paste an article.

Some successful covers I like: My Top 3 All-Time:

Whiskey in the Jar: Metallica (Awesome. You wouldn't believe the change from Thin Lizzy's original cut!)

Mississippi Queen: Ozzy Osbourne (Good cuz I like Ozzy's voice in this one. Not much difference with Mountain's version. Both are great!)

Smokin' in the Boy's Room: Motley Crue (The original by Brownsville Station is just as good. Both Rock the House. Both harmonica riffs get a thumbs up!)

H20 covering "Like A Prayer" - Madonna

[dhunter]

Korn with Chino of the Deftones covering "Wicked" - Ice Cube

Yes, pretty good for my ears too. That double CD (Garage Inc.) are all covers. The only tune I don't like is Turn The Page (original by Bob Seger). Bob should not be covered. His ballads cannot be improved.

I hear ya...but I still like that cover too....they are so different. Get to enjoy that song in two totally different ways

[Lukester]

Alright now...d is a Rapper and I'm a Rocker.

Two more good covers that go further back and will show my age:

Locomotion: Grand Funk Railroad (Those were the days. Nobody covered this song better than GFR out of the hundreds that tried. Little Eva had the original. Big change but subtle similarities exist)

Wild Thing: Fancy (Never did like The Troggs' original version. Fancy added a lil' pizzaz on keyboard and swept my heart away. I was a lil' school loverboy in those days, so knew exactly what made the lil' girls giggle).

Ugly Kid Joe covering "Cats in the Cradle"- Harry Chapin

[Snowman]

Cake covering "I Will Survive"- Gloria Gaynor

[Lukester]

Snowman: I haven't heard of UKJ in quite some time now. Anyway, the clip is no longer available.

[Snowman]

Rolling Stones covering "Like A Rolling Stone"- Bob Dylan

probably one of the best covers ever imo in regards to sounding identical
